Our Perinatal Mum’s Group is suitable for mums with a child under 2, who experience symptoms of distress, low mood and anxiety.  

It is a relaxed and supportive learning environment, where you can connect with other mums, talk about your experiences of early motherhood, and develop skills and strategies to help deal with the challenges you are facing.  

This course will:  

• Help to challenge some unhelpful expectations of motherhood in a non-judgmental and supportive environment.  
• Help to identify certain behaviours, thinking patterns and situations that may be contributing to your low mood or anxiety.  
• Give you the chance to learn skills to change them and help develop self-compassion.

We are currently offering free workshops to local organisations on different aspects of wellbeing. This would involve two of our therapists coming to you to facilitate a workshop to your staff or the people you support. These workshops can be delivered in-person or virtually and can be booked at a time that is most suited to you.  

We run a wide range of outreach workshops, tailoring each workshop to suit the needs of our audience. Past outreach workshops have included:  

• Introduction to Barnet NHS Talking Therapies  
• Mental health awareness   
• Achieving good life balance to improve mood  
• Sleep hygiene  
• When your worries get in the way  
• Stress and relaxation   
• Coping with Long Term Health Conditions  

All of our workshops are designed to teach people how to notice signs and symptoms of difficulty in these areas, and what they can do to manage these symptoms more effectively. They are primarily based on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, the approach recommended by NICE guidelines and proven to be highly effective. They are typically 1 hour long.  

How can these workshops benefit your service?   

One of our aims as a service is to help people help themselves before the first signs and symptoms of mental health deteriorate. These workshops are aimed at educating everyone in ways to look after their mental wellbeing in the same way we are educated to know how to look after our physical health. We hope the workshops will help reduce stigma, encourage people to talk about their mental health openly and advise them of next steps should they require further mental health support.
